About this map

Webb Lake dominates the center of this 1960s survey, surrounded by the peaks and valleys of Weld, Carthage, and Perkins Plantation. The map details a landscape where small settlements like Weld Corner and Berry Mills are connected by winding valley roads that follow the drainage of Webb River and numerous mountain brooks. Extensive portions of the land are dedicated to Mount Blue State Park, which preserves the higher elevations around Center Hill and Hedgehog Hill.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the several rural burial grounds identified across the map, including Mountain View Cem, Robertson Cem, and Newman Cem. The topography is marked by notable heights such as Hurricane Mtn and Cobble Hill, while the inclusion of a Gravel Pit and various unnamed trails suggests the area's ongoing mix of timber, recreation, and local industry during the mid-20th century.
